Kannur: A Bharatiya Janata Party worker was hacked to death on Wednesday in Kerala`s Kannur district, the state police said.

The victim was identified as Remith. He was killed in front of a petrol pump in Pinarayi village at around 10 am, a police official said.

According to sources, Remith`s father was also murdered some years ago.
